How to Raise a Healthy Kitten

• Eyes should be clear and bright with no sings of weeping.
• Gums should be pink (not red) and teeth should be white.
• The coat should be clean and unmated with no fleas or flaky skin.
• Check under the tail - this area should be spotless in a healthy cat.

Feeding your kitten

Food and feeding your cat

• Moist food as in the canned varieties is preferred by most cats because it closely resembles fresh meat. It also has the vitamins and minerals that the cat needs. How ever canned foods will not last long once served and it is best to take the food away after an hour to encourage your cat to eat its food in a single sitting rather that picking at it all day long.
• Semi - moist food usually comes in a sachet. It keeps well in a bowl without drying out or loosing its texture and tastes good to cats.
• Dry food contains very little moisture so it is very important to have fresh drinking water available.
• Establish a feeding routine where you feed your cat once or twice a day - at the same place and the same time. Leave the food out for an hour then take it away. This will help to make your cat a healthy eater and not pick at the food all day.

Worming

• The most common worms that affect cats are round worms and tape worms. Cats must be de-wormed regularly. Your vet will give you specific advice on worming products.
• Following these simple steps will ensure you, your family and the newest edition to the family will have a happy, healthy and rewarding time together.
